Maybe they couldn't cope the Emissions Standards. I can see that Australia has the Euro 5b standards and gets the engine changes, but Europe has the Euro 6b standard and gets nothing.
In fact I suppose it will have a higher cost to keep an inventory of different pistons, intake manifolds & air-intake, fuel systems, headers etc. I think the 1st version wasn't differentiated so much per area.
At least, they deserve an applause for this. It looks that they did the best to provide an actual upgrade.  |
Yeah, I agree, the total cost (parts and R&D) to do all of the changes would'nt have been cheap.
Gives and insight into how much even small changes in spec affect EVERY other part in the car.
